I have 2 tanks, which is why I want a 2nd temp probe. Too bad the standard base Apex doesn't have a 2nd temp input port like with PH.
Am I missing something? Are there better options?

Where can you find an Apex Jr for $150! I thought they went for about $240.
A PM1 is about $90 and a probe for $40 is $130.
So from a financial standpoint the PM1 and temp probe is cheaper.
** Also .. one IP address for both tanks rather than having to log into two places to check both tanks.
You could also get a PM2 instead of a PM1 and have the possibility of monitoring salinity in the future if you don't really need another PH or ORP port.
Now if you really wanted the 4 power ports then get the JR. It is just more money.
